The new species F. volkovae sp. nov. differs from all Palaearctic species of the genus in the coloration of the face, the frons and mesonotum completely covered with grey pollen, black scape and pedicel, and the details of the male genitalia. The female of E. muratovi is similar to that of E. kozlovi Stackelberg, 1952, but differs in the completely black legs, larger size and presence of brown spot on the wing.
